Dragonboat Racing

Saturday was a well filled day: grandma's birthday-visit in the morning, the wedding-anniversary of Harmen and Annet in the afternoon and evening. Grandma lives in Germany, Harmen and Annet in Groningen -> so this meant a ride by car of about 600 km's... Nevertheless it was a nice day, topped by a canoe-intermezzo on the Paterswoldsemeer. Harmen and Annet invited the unprepared wedding guests for a little Dragonboat-race. This was a big surprise for the guests, most of them were dressed for a stylish party in the atmosphere of the Societeit Clubhuis. My motto is: don't leave the house with a set of sportswear (and a towel) in the car! You never know...Jelle and Lieke knew the Dragonboats from the Jubilee of KV Wyrda a year ago. It were the same boats of the EHDC.

Hans,

When you have more time, please stay a little longer on the Paterswoldse meer. When I was young(er) I was member of the VWDTP, the Society and we did a lot of competion Sailing in our Flits. On the other side of the Lake: called Hoornse Meer you will find the GKV (GroningerCanoeClub).Seems you missed the spot.You have to pass by an culvert, in order to come to the club.
